Old tin dredger of Batu Gajah

This is one of the two surviving tin ore dredger in Malaysia.
Both are no more in use
but we are lucky this one have been put
on display to the public.


You can find more beautiful views of the sky at SKY WATCH FRIDAY.

    Our winter gets to about 6 degrees.

    But now, though it is summer, we had so much rain. on Thursday the humidity was 97%, not nice.

    Do you celebrate Christmas?

    Nice shot. That looks like quite a complicated piece of machinery.

    Interesting shot of the tin mining. Reminds us about the glory days of tin mining back in the olden times.

    The dredger looks to be in good shape. I guess someone is taking good care of it.
